Hey book nerds! :3 How are you all doing today? :D I hope you all enjoyed my two featured post over the last two days, my Book Blitz (with Giveaway!) and Cover Reveal. :) I'm thinking of signing up for more of them so I get more varied content to post and such - so it's not all the same! :) What do you guys think? Also, what do you think of my new layout? I, personally love it. ^.^ It's more professional and smarter than the Christmas one I did. :) Also, I did have my friend, Sarah over for a couple of hours yesterday, it was really fun. ^.^ It's going to be the last time I see her before she goes back to Uni, which sucks..

Friday Finds
All These Lives by Sarah Wylie.
Sixteen-year-old Dani is convinced she has nine lives. As a child she twice walked away from situations where she should have died. But Dani’s twin, Jena, isn’t so lucky. She has cancer and might not even be able to keep her one life. Dani’s father is in denial. Her mother is trying to hold it together and prove everything’s normal. And Jena is wasting away. To cope, Dani sets out to rid herself of all her extra lives. Maybe they’ll be released into the universe and someone who wants to live more than she does will get one. Someone like Jena. But just when Dani finds herself at the breaking point, she’s faced with a startling realization. Maybe she doesn’t have nine lives after all. Maybe she really only ever had one.
Fury (The Fury Trilogy, #1) by Elizabeth Miles.
In this chilling start to a trilogy rife with revenge, two teens learn the hard way: Sometimes sorry isn't enough.It's winter break in Ascension, Maine. The snow is falling and everything looks pristine and peaceful. But not all is as it seems... Between cozy traditions and parties with her friends, Emily loves the holidays. And this year's even better--the guy she's been into for months is finally noticing her. But Em knows if she starts things with him, there's no turning back. Because his girlfriend is Em's best friend.
On the other side of town, Chase is having problems of his own. The stress of his home life is starting to take its toll, and his social life is unraveling. But that's nothing compared to what's really haunting him. Chase has done something cruel...something the perfect guy he pretends to be would never do. And it's only a matter of time before he's exposed. In Ascension, mistakes can be deadly. And three girls--three beautiful, mysterious girls--are here to choose who will pay. Em and Chase have been chosen.
He's After Me by Chris Higgins.
Anna's bruised and upset by the collapse of her parents' marriage. So much of the fallout - including responsibility for her wayward younger sister - seems to be heading in her direction. All she wants is to get the exam results she needs to get herself to university - and away from this mess. She certainly wants nothing to do with boys - until Jem appears. Gradually he wins her trust, and becomes everything Anna needs him to be. But Anna's about to discover that love stories don't always have happy endings...
The Way We Fall (Fallen World, #1) by Megan Crewe.
It starts with an itch you just can't shake. Then comes a fever and a tickle in your throat. A few days later, you'll be blabbing your secrets and chatting with strangers like they’re old friends. Three more, and the paranoid hallucinations kick in. And then you're dead.
When sixteen-year-old Kaelyn lets her best friend leave for school without saying goodbye, she never dreams that she might not see him again. But then a strange virus begins to sweep through her small island community, infecting young and old alike. As the dead pile up, the government quarantines the island: no one can leave, and no one can come back. Those still healthy must fight for the island’s dwindling supplies, or lose all chance of survival. As everything familiar comes crashing down, Kaelyn joins forces with a former rival and discovers a new love in the midst of heartbreak. When the virus starts to rob her of friends and family, she clings to the belief that there must be a way to save the people she holds dearest. Because how will she go on if there isn't?
Summaries from Good Reads. I love the covers for these, especially The Way We Fall's cover, I love the effect of the text inside the writing. :) I also think All These Lives cover is gorgeous. ^.^ I can't wait to get my hands on these, they all look incredible! I really can't decide which one I want to get my hands on first.. ^^; Which one do you think looks best? :)
